New ride!

Well after much weeping and gnashing of teeth along with fretting over bed size vs. cab size, I finally pulled the trigger today on the exact thing I didn't want... and I couldn't be happier! 22 XLT with 302a package. It has the auto start/stop delete but, to be honest, I wouldn't have cared either way. 3.5 Ecobeast so that should be fun. I'll learn more next week once I get it home. I gave it a real long think and, to be honest, I tow about 80% of the time anymore so I guess a real long bed is no longer a must for me. It's amaxing how far the XLT package has come since I last had one. At least I have LED headlights now! That's my trade in the background. I'll miss my blue Lariat but that probably wont last long.

You just may miss the blue Lariat.. I still miss my F-150 that was traded in for a Silverado... but I am now trying to order a 2022 F-150.

Congrats on your new F150.

I hope it gives you many trouble free miles and years of service.

Very nice! I think the 302a and STX are probably the best values Ford offers. you won't miss the Lariat for long.
